Fun outing and gorgeous weather on April 6 for the Rolling British Car Day organized by the San Diego British Car Club Council. We followed a scenic and twisty route mapped out from Carlsbad to Menghini Winery in Julian, CA (the northern route) and linked up with other cars coming up on the...

Sounds like a good time, count me in for this Saturday!

After the successful and enjoyable British Rolling Car Day event in San Diego that some of us participated in, I've been looking for and considering other events close by. Two that I'm considering are the San Clemente Cars and Coffee this Saturday morning and I also found there's a British Car...

Don’t think. Do!

Licorice? 🙂

Surprised we haven’t heard from @seriously. @seriously are you in on this? We need your red to complete our skittles bag. 😀

Good call and good catch. I mapped the round trip for me and it's about 220 miles so I prob won't need the gas stop but would probably be a good choice anyway for peace of mind. Looks like there's a Chevron and a Mobil right at the intersection where the windmill is. Since they've set the...

Sounds like a plan! Glad to have you onboard @T6061 ! Looks like about 30 minutes to the windmill from there (assuming my recollection of the Pendelton speed traps, if they still do that :ROFLMAO: )? And we are supposed to arrive at 9. So maybe set our target arrival time at Rockwell's to be...

It can be a Skittles party!

:) What color? Nvr, mind from the profile looks like a similar HY spec to yours. We need to get a magma and nimbus into this gathering!

It will be great to see a few Emiras out there in different colors.

PERFECT!! I remembered reading about this but it skipped my mind, thanks for the reminder. I am going to try to make this one work! If I do, I'll let you know @squish and thanks for the group drive from OC offer. @T6061 you up for this? :)

For those of you in So Cal, especially Orange County, have there been driving events you've participated in recently, either specifically Lotus or otherwise, you would recommend? I joined GGLC, however there are few to zero events scheduled around my area (just a track event at Buttonwillow in...

Great idea, thanks for the share of this design! I'm thinking though that they may need to be considerably wider than what you have in your photos to provide enough protection, and maybe closer to the tire width itself. (so thanks for providing the customization guidance). The appearance going...

I'm with you there. If you do decide to go this route, let me know what Eurocar has to say about this.

Interesting, didn't know. But is Team Lotus now officially organized under LOT now? Or maybe just an impression that could be driving the stock? And while I realize the EV only idea is morphing into hybrid tech (walking back my internal combustion comment), my tariff comments wrt to the stock...

Doubful in my mind considering in my understanding LOT has little to do with Lotus internal combustion and is solely made up of the Geely parent's EVs. So....Trump on Friday hinted at a softening in his postion on tariffs (including China) with April 2 being the witching date. TSLA responded...

Wow, this has been quite the new revelation and conundrum. You could pull the fuse, and live with the less than full sound profile (aftermarket exhaust/3rd cat delete the solution here?), or leave it be with the "stock" sound, but as one owner put it, once you know it's fake you can't "unhear...

Not me, still under 4k! How are your tires doing? Curious about tread life on the Goodyears without tracking.

Nope! 5/29/24 sale date, so around 9 months ago.

Good call out on the VAT, thanks. In that case: My V6 FE 2.0 including taxes and registration: $117,320 UK base V6 configured like my FE: £105,505 ($136,623) The gap definitely closes, but is still surprisingly significant.

Yep, good call outs and makes sense. Thanks.

Been away from the forum for awhile (been out driving:)), and just noticed this today as well. US configurator now populated with base V6 pricing. I thought I might just be late to this news, but from this thread it appears not and this just happened. Anyway I configured my current V6 FE as a...

Agree with all comments, hideous even if you do love the Superman spec. Looks to me like Galpin slapped on some film for advertising (it also says Galpin Lotus in addition to Essex), probably used it in shows for their own purposes and now is trying to unload it. At least on the Esprit, the...

Emerald, you hit on it! That was exactly the name of the color on my Maxima and very similar to dark Verdant I think. And yes, it was really nice in bright sun. Glad you're enjoying Verdant; appears from your profile pic that your Evora is a very similar color? As I mentioned, there are really...

Found it! But it's old, only US/Canada, posted by @Life411 last May. Not much data after June, and only includes around 100 cars. But still interesting. Data is here:
